Current students can access the Student Portal and search for information and guidance on a range of topics including:

  • Assessment regulations and policies
  • Summary information for students including how the University sets assessments, how the University marks with fairness and how to act on your module assignment feedback
  • Managing assessments in emergency scenarios
  • Assessment feedback and the University's Anonymous Marking Policy 
  • Examinations and conduct in learning environments
  • Late submission of work and extension requests
  • Personal Extenuating Circumstances (PECs)
  • Student appeals and complaints
  • Academic misconduct
  • Disability and unforeseen medical circumstances
  • Assessment Regulations for Taught Awards (ARTA)

If you are a current student but do not have access at present to the Student Portal, please view the Assessment Regulations and Policies web page.
